Looks good, but a few really minor comments  / questions inline.

Thanks,

I'm fairly sure you don't need to mark fallthroughs in the case where
there is nothing in the case statement at all.  That case is assumed
to be deliberate by the various static checkers.  I am seeing a few
examples as you have it here in kernel, but it certainly isn't particularly common
so I'm assuming those where the result of people falsely thinking it was necessary
or the outcomes of code changes in the surrounding code.

What benefit do we get from the local variable?
offset_val /= offset_val2; would be alternative.
